Louvain Institute of Data Analysis and Modeling in economics and statistics

Center for Operations Research and Econometrics

Welcome at CORE !

The Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE) is an interdisciplinary research center of UCLouvain.

In 2010, CORE became one of the "poles" of LIDAM, a UCL Louvain research institute association researchers from four different research entities: CORE, IRES, ISBA and LFIN.

CORE follows three objectives. The first one is the development of scientific research in the fields of economics, econometrics, operations research and quantitative and economic geography. The second objective is the training of young researchers at the doctoral and postdoctoral stages of their career. The third objective is the promotion of local and international scientific exchanges and collaborations.
